In July 2025, delivered expanded hardware support for the Matter extension across BRD4120A/BRD4121A, Rainier, and Series 3/SIMG301, including cleanup of BRD4407A duplicates; improved Zigbee Matter Light demo metadata and automatic quality tagging for Series 3 boards; and strengthened build stability across platforms by upgrading the JDK to 21.x, bumping matter_extension to v2.6.1, and aligning submodules. Resolved a No LCD build issue by conditionally compiling SensorsUI.cpp when DISPLAY_ENABLED is defined. Business impact: broader hardware coverage, more reliable releases, faster onboarding for new boards, and improved metadata/testing visibility.
